Find the amount of the difference and then divide it by the original amount:
380 - 350 = 30
30 / 350 = 0.0857 = 8.6% increase. Round the answer as needed.
Answer:
A. $301
B. $721
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the amount of money they raised.
Rowena tried to put the $1 bills into two equal piles and found one left over at the end, then
Polly tried to put the $1 bills into three equal piles and found one left over at the end, then
Frustrated, they tried 4, 5, and 6 equal piles and each time had $1 left over, then
Finally Rowena put all the bills evenly into 7 equal piles, and none were left over, then
This means 
is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 without remainder, so
Hence,
The smallest amount of money they could have raised is $301, because
is divisible by 7.
Now, the number 
should be divisible by 7 and must be greater than 500.
So,
When n = 9,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 10,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 11,
is not divisible by 7.
When n = 12,
is divisible by 7.
B. The least amount of money they could have raised is $721
The correct question is
<span>Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions 8 x 20. There are three inches of sand in the bottom of the terrarium. Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger. The base of the new terrarium is 10 x 24 inches. Zach moved the existing sand to the new terrarium. How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium?
</span>
Step 1
find the volume of sand
volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³
Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h
where h------------> is the deep in the new terrarium
remember that the volume of sand is the same
so
10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in
the answer is 2 in
